Lluís Lleó currently lives and works between the intensely cosmopolitan city of New York and the small village of Rupiá, in Baix Empordà. His work, eminently abstract in character, has important links with European conceptualism and informalism, as can be seen in the piece we now present, where the title, the written word, is an integral part of the work, which is characterized, on the other hand, by its gestural, material character and its chromatic restraint. Lluís Lleó began his exhibition career in 1988, and has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions of international scope. He has also participated in some of the most important art fairs on the international scene. His work is held in museums and collections such as the Museo Nacional de Arte Reina Sofia, the Perez Art Museum Miami, the collection of the Fundació La Caixa, the Collection Fank for International Settlements in Basel, the Maison Particuliere in Brussels, the World Trade Center in Barcelona, the Fundació Godia in Barcelona and the Nagoya Art Museum in Japan.
